EL Zarape 2 (Jones) — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Zarapate 2 is one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you just stumbled upon something special. It’s a small, no-frills spot with a Mexican soul—warm, inviting, and filled with the sound of good music and the hum of young, hungry faces who know exactly what they came for. The counter setup keeps things casual and easy, and the place is clean, simple, and straight-up fun.

But let’s talk about the food because that’s where Zarapate 2 really shines. It’s the kind of authentic, no-shortcuts Mexican cuisine that hits all the right spots. The birria tacos? Unreal. The tortillas are golden, crispy, and soaked in rich consommé, stuffed with perfectly tender, juicy meat and topped with just the right amount of onions and cilantro. And that broth? Deep, savory, and packed with so much flavor you’ll want to drink it straight.

Then there are the nachos—an absolute masterpiece. Crunchy chips piled high with melted cheese, seasoned meat, fresh pico, drizzles of crema, and whatever sauce magic they keep in those squeeze bottles. Every bite is a perfect mix of textures and bold, spicy, creamy goodness.

And if you’re in the mood for something heartier, their plates of fajitas with rice and beans don’t disappoint. The meats are juicy, the seasoning is spot on, and the whole thing just feels homemade in the best way possible.

Zarapate 2 is that perfect balance of authenticity and fun. You come here, grab a bite, vibe to the music, and leave full, happy, and already thinking about what you’re going to...

I'm an Uber eats delivery driver when I came into this restaurant to pick up an order I was told the order was cancelled by the customer I looked at my phone and saw this wasn't the case so I said the person's name again and said I'm here to pick it up she then showed me their mobile order tablet and showed me the order that I'm supposed to be picking up (that wasn't cancelled and said so) she then clicked the button that said order ready for pickup then said you see it's cancelled. I was confused then asked again for the order when she looked again she said oh ok 5 minutes then went to prepare the order. In my wait time for the order I witnessed the same lady wear her mask under her chin while accepting orders from customers and preparing food then I witnessed her completely rip open a foil wrapped taco look at it and wrapped it back up and set it down on the counter again. Idk what was going on but I would not recommend this restaurant especially with the lack of covid precautions that they are...

I have been her more than 6 times it's always been amazing never had an issue.... But this Sunday was my first time not ordering thru UberEATS and I was very disappointed I order the same thing every time chicken chiliques verde. It hits best place in Vegas for chiliques I believe that but this time I didn't get my chicken and when I called just let them know like hey no chicken it was turned into an argument which is not how I entered the issue I was fine but the lady took it like I was trying get something no I'll still maybe return because the food but the service I was charged for the chicken and it would have been nice to have an apology or remorse but none of the above just an argument and rude. Saying sorry that happened what can I do to fix the issue would have been great.. chiliques and 3 carne asada tacos don't cost 23 dollars unless you add the 5.99 for chicken . Just some better customer service would have me return..too bad food five stars...
